It is possible to play both individual clips and entire cues.

<h2>Playing Individual Clips</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are generally two ways to trigger a slot with a clip inside.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Pressing a mouse button over the button to the left of the
|
|
clip's name (Ardout defaults to Trigger launch style which has a classical
|
|
triangle playback icon)</li>
|
|
<li>Sending a note-on event from an external or a virtual MIDI
|
|
controller</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
How Ardour responds to releasing the mouse button or sending a note-off
|
|
event depends on the trigger launch style.
|
|
<a href="@@clip-launch-options">This chapter</a> covers that topic.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once the clip starts playing, the playback indication panel for that track
|
|
lights up with some information:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|

|
|
<img style="width:75%;" src="/images/trigger-slot-playing.png" alt="Playback indication">

</figcaption>
|
|
</figure>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Left to right:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Clip progress, in the form of a sliding pie chart</li>
|
|
<li>Which cue is playing (it's C on the screenshot)</li>
|
|
<li>MIDI clip indication, an icon representing two beamed 1/16 notes</li>
|
|
<li>Follow count, e.g. '1/2' on the screenshot means the clip is currently being played
|
|
the first time out of two times total</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
One way to stop a playing clip is to click the square-shaped icon
|
|
in any of the empty slots in the track of interest.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Ardour allows assigning arbitrary keys on MIDI controllers to trigger
|
|
cue slots:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd>-click on the trigger slot of interest
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Choose <kbd class="menu">MIDI Learn</kbd> in the newly opened window
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Press a key on your MIDI controller
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
An existing assignment can be remove using the
|
|
<kbd class="menu">MIDI un-Learn</kbd> command in the same right-click menu.
